f 1 I s i i l I i l i "J PATENT FFIC CHARLES C. COPELAND, OF EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY.

CUFF.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 543,671, dated July 30, 1895.

Application filed March 25, 1895. Serial No. 543,085. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLEs C. COPELAND, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of East Orange, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuffs, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in cuffs, and particularly to a reversible cuff, which may be turned to bring one end or the other into use without necessitating the transfer of the cuff-buttons from one set of openings to another, the turning being preferably accomplished by unbuttoning the cuff from the shirt-sleeve button and reversing it; and the invention consists in a reversible cuff having openings arranged at each end of the same and central of the edges and a central opening in the body of the cuff midway of and in alignment with the buttonholes.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plain view of the cuff spread out, and'Fig. 2 a view showingthe cuff applied to the wristband of a shirt-sleeve.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the body of the cuff, (shown as of the reversible type,) having midway between the transverse edges a buttonhole a forthe reception of the cuff-button, either link or the usual kind, as preferred. By making the cuff sufficiently narrow in transverse direction it will be seen that no matter which end of the cuff be turned outwardly the cuif-buttons will show in a desirable' manner and therefore without necessitating the shifting of thecuff-buttons from one end to the other the ends may be reversed,

In order to fathe cuff and secure it in position on the shirtsleeve all that is necessary to do is to remove the buttonhole b from the button and turn the cuff, securing the hole 1) upon the button again.

It will be noticed that it is not necessary to shift the cuff-buttons from one end to the other, as in the usual construction; a multiplicity of buttonholes is avoided, and the cuff may be made of a smaller piece of material and possess a number of advantages over those heretofore in use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein described reversible cuff having the openings at arranged at each end of the cuff and centrally of the edges, and an opening 1) in alignment with the openings 0., and

centrally between the same; substantially as described.

Signed at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 21st day of March, A. D. 1895.

CHARLES C. COPELAND.
